All are invited to join us for a 5-week course on Spiritual Practices for Real Life taught by Rabbinic Intern Adina Ikeman. Dinner will be provided! This series is in partnership with Iyun!
What is a life well-lived, and how do we achieve such a thing? While we dare not offer others a set of prescribed answers, engaging the question itself with others can be a worthy, meaningful, and provocative experience.
Together, we will explore some of life’s big questions, exploring perspectives from Jewish tradition on spiritual practices for real life. Gratitude, spirituality, divinity, resistance, redemption — these themes offer a glimpse into the conversations shared in this Circle.
We will meet on 10/27, 11/3, 11/10, and 11/17 and there will be a Shabbat dinner on 12/5.
Class topics:
- Week 1: On Gratitude: Empty Platitudes or Practice Worth Cultivating?
- Week 2: “I’m Not Religious, I’m Spiritual”: Toward a Vibrant Jewish Lifestyle
- Week 3: Not my God: Conceptions of Divinity
- Week 4: On Political and Spiritual Resistance: Protest or Pray?
- Week 5: Revelations from the Ruins & Shabbat Dinner
This class was previously only open to recent college grads, but it is now open to anyone in their 20s and 30s.
